Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 228 The career path arranged for Liu Bei

People are not born with ambition, and the size of ambition is often directly related to people's experiences and various tribulations.

Many people fall down in the face of various ordeals, but once someone endures it, not only can they improve their various abilities, but it will also increase their confidence in conquering victory, so that they can continuously sprint towards newer and higher goals.

This can also be seen as an external cause of ambition.

On the contrary, a person with a relatively smooth life usually does not have too much ambition. It does not mean that such a person has no ambition, but is more stable. They will be cautious about some seemingly unrealistic goals and ideals. Choose to discard.

For example, a rich man with hundreds of millions of assets, under normal circumstances, he would never spend all his belongings to gamble, because he really has to try!

Historically, Liu Bei was an ambitious person. Throughout most of his life, he spent almost all of his life in hardships and failures.

But Liu Bei is an unbeatable Xiaoqiang, who can always stand up again, and those failures and tribulations just provided him with successful experience, and at the same time, it also fostered his expanding ambition, and finally made him reach the pinnacle of life.

Liu Yu was well aware of these things, and when he had subdued Liu Bei by coincidence before his rise, he had been guarding against Liu Bei's further expansion of his ambitions.

For this reason, Liu Yu thought of many ways, and finally decided to use "a powerful medicine".

He decided to make Liu Bei's official career smooth sailing, and let his desire for stability offset his ambition.

So Liu Yu provided Liu Bei with a chance to rise to the top and become Zongzheng, one of the nine ministers.

From a small citizen in Zhuo County to becoming a high-ranking official in Jiuqing, Liu Bei has far exceeded Liu Bei's ideal range. At least two months ago, Liu Bei never thought that he would have the opportunity to stand in the Chongde Palace and talk to other important court officials. Let's discuss world affairs together.

At that moment, he really felt that he had no regrets in this life!
And Liu Bei knew very well in his heart that the reason why he became a master so quickly was all because he followed the right lord.

So he reminded himself all the time, no matter when he should do his best for Liu Yu.

So Liu Bei's thoughts changed, he can no longer be the King of Hanzhong in history, now he wants to be with Liu Yu and rebuild the glory for the big man with him!

……

Regarding the report letter, Liu Bei took the initiative to take responsibility, but Liu Yu praised him fiercely, and soon the report letter was not mentioned.

"A few days ago, I asked Xuande to pay attention to the situation of Chen Dao and Xu Shu. I wonder if they came to the city to report to you?" Liu Yu asked.

When Xu Shu was in Liang County, he wanted to go back to his hometown to pick up his old mother. Liu Yu asked Chen Dao to protect him and told them to find Liu Bei to arrange follow-up matters when they arrived in Luoyang.

Chen Dao and Xu Shu came to Luoyang City to look for Liu Bei the day before yesterday, and seeing the token in their hands, Liu Bei also made some arrangements for them on the spot according to Liu Yu's wishes.

Liu Bei said: "According to my lord, my subordinates have sent Chen Dao and Liao Hua to Xin'an County. I believe that with the help of Yide, there should be no problem in taking over the Baibo Camp!"

Liu Yu nodded after listening. He knew Chen Dao's abilities very well. With Liao Hua as the deputy general, Zhang Fei as the side support, and Xu Huang as the internal support, I believe that he would not need to worry about the battle from Hongnong to Xin'an. .

"Then Xu Shu's mother and son have settled down?"

"My lord, please don't worry, I have sold the old courtyard of Huangfu's house across the street, and I will ask someone to move Xu Shu's mother and son there at noon!"

Liu Bei learned that Xu Shu is a very important person to the lord Liu Yu, and Xu Shu is a very filial person, and setting up a home for their mother and son opposite Liu's mansion can kill two birds with one stone, so that Xu Shu can serve Liu Yu without any scruples .

"Xuande did a great job on this matter. You can make the best arrangements according to the temperament of others. Your ability to be a Zongzheng is a bit inferior, but you are more suitable for appointing and supervising the morals of the officials!"

Appointing and supervising hundreds of officials are all within the purview of Da Sikong. When Liu Bei heard such praise, he was so humble that he didn't even dare to say it.

But in my heart, I was secretly happy, thinking that this is the lord's intention to help me again!

And if Liu Bei can make further progress in his official career, he will be one of the three princes!This is the pinnacle of life that many heroes dream of!
Liu Yu calmly set a new career goal for Liu Bei, which made Liu Bei devote his mind to this matter for a long time to come.

And the ambition that was buried deep in Liu Bei's heart and had not yet formally formed gradually faded until it disappeared completely.

……

After learning about Xu Shu and Chen Dao's resettlement issues, Liu Yu asked Zhang Xiu specifically.

Zhang Xiu had been trapped in the Bingzhou barracks since he was rescued from the death row by Lu Bu. Later, Liu Bei brought him out before Lu Bu led his troops to leave Luoyang.

It's just that Zhang Xiu suffered some torture in the prison, and now his wounds have not healed, and the arrest warrant issued against him in the city has not been revoked, so Liu Bei didn't dare to bring him to visit Liu's mansion.

Liu Yu agrees with Liu Bei's approach, because Zhang Xiu is the key person Liu Yu is going to recruit and incorporate into the Jingyuan Army, so Zhang Xiu's personal safety must be put first.

A few days ago, Xin'an County was besieged by Li Su's regiments. Zhang Ji couldn't fight or escape, so he could only defend to the death. But Li Jue's large army was about to arrive, and by then Zhang Ji's Jingyuan Army would have no way out. up.

The icing on the cake is worse than giving charcoal in the snow. Liu Yu plans to help Zhang Ji when he is desperate, so as to lay a good foundation for recruiting and surrendering the Jingyuan army.

Now that Lu Bu has fled Luoyang, the second step of the "Plan to Cut Dong" has been successfully completed, so there is no need to continue the stalemate in Xin'an County.

Liu Yu had already ordered Zhang Fei and Han Xian's troops to temporarily suspend their flags and drums, and when Xin'an County could not continue to hold on, he sent someone to the city with Zhang Xiu to talk about surrendering Zhang Ji.

It's just that Zhang Xiu was very anxious when he heard that his uncle Zhang Ji was trapped in the dead city, and asked to see Liu Yu many times.

"Zhang Xiu needs Xuande to comfort him a lot, tell him not to worry, we will definitely save Zhang Ji, and besides, Xun Yu is still in Niujia Village, you can contact old general Huangfu and ask him to transfer some from Mengjin County. Send people to Xun Yu!"

Liu Bei didn't know why he wanted to transfer troops to Niujia Village, so he asked cautiously: "How many people should I ask from General Huangfusong?"

Liu Yu thought for a while and replied: "3000 people!"

3000 people is not a small number. Liu Bei was very puzzled after hearing this, and asked, "Why did my lord send so many soldiers to Niujia Village? Besides, the village is not big, so it is not easy to hide soldiers and horses. Once they are discovered by the city, I'm afraid... it will cause a lot of trouble!"

Liu Yu shrugged his shoulders relaxedly, and said with a smile: "Xuande is too nervous, Niujia Village is not big, but you forgot that there is a dense forest with a radius of more than ten miles to the east of the village, not to mention that there is a forest in the northeast of the village. In the underground palace under our secret control!"

Hearing this, Liu Bei suddenly realized that it would be no problem to hide three thousand soldiers in those two places, but he still didn't understand why he had to send troops there.

Raid Luoyang City?impossible!The protagonist Liu Yu will never be so hasty. The defense of Luoyang city is not comparable to that of ordinary big cities.

Seeing that Liu Bei was puzzled, Liu Yu made a fool of himself, saying that he would understand everything in two days!
It seems like a casual move, but every critical moment will have a miraculous effect. This is the cleverness of Liu Yu's layout.

Liu Bei was convinced, so he didn't ask any more questions, bid farewell to Liu's house and carried out according to the plan.
